Garrettland Inc

I have lived in Garrettland apartments for 3 1/2 years. This is the worst possible rental company I've ever had to deal with. When I first moved in, I informed the company that I was inly accepting the unit because I was homeless and had no other options at that time, but I needed a one floor apartment due to severe arthritis in my knees and back. I wasn't able to live in the unit for 3 months at the beginning of the lease due to there being stairs, which I hoped was a one off due to extenuating circumstances. The first 2 years I lived here, I was told over and over that I was on a waiting list for a handicapped unit, then 2 years later, I was told I had never been on a waiting list. I, then, got a doctor's note stating that my arthritis had gotten so bad, I wasn't able to walk up and

My experience with Garrettland was bad from the start. When applying for a unit they want all of your personal information and that made me uncomfortable. They even asked for the bank account number we had a car loan through! I felt this was unnecessary. I would not sign the lease until we saw the unit. They acted as if that was very inconvenient for them. I felt as though I was bothering the resident manager when we walked through the unit so we left quickly. After we signed the lease and had the keys, the real nightmare started. The unit was in bad shape. Water damaged cabinets, cigarette burns (in a NON-SMOKING apartment) in the carpet, peeling paint in the bathroom (that they promised to fix but never did). I decided to clean the unit as best as I could because at the time we had no ot

Garrettland is organized to keep you in poverty and barely able to meet your means. They harass you, violate your privacy at every turn, and act as if they do no wrong. They are not punctual, they will show up late or way early consistently, never on time or show up without informing you at all. They used the money we payed for rent to pay someone else’s rent by “accident”, told us repeatedly we did not pay our rent when we had TWO forms of proof we did, bank statements and the receipt from the property manager. Acted as if we were liars and were disrespectful when we told them to look into it after showing proof we payed the months rent. Got back to us the next day and informed us of their ignorant “mistake”. When we first moved in, Garrettland gave us the wrong account number for our wat

It took 6 months to get into a unit, and the unit lacks any modern amenities. There is no dishwasher, no garbage disposal, no AC, and the units are tiny for the amount you pay. They allow you to put in a window AC unit, but the upstairs windows are made in such a way that a window unit can't be put in, so I spent the summer sleeping on the floor of my living room/dining room. Although they call it different things, they do an inspection every month on your unit and if you aren't home, they will let themselves into your unit. There is also a yearly inspection, and they will evict you if your unit isn't clean enough or they don't like how it is organized. I have spent 5 months trying to get ahold of my property manager and she refuses to return phone calls, but she refuses to have offic

Tenants beware! I know too many people that have rented in these facilities. They have to many scams being done internally. You can leave one of these units cleaner than when you move in and they will claim it had to be cleaned after you move out. There are property managers that live in a unit at each location that have a tendency to just walk in any time they feel free with no prior communication, especially while not at home. The ones that check the apartments after the tenant leaves will claim to have to clean so they can then charge garrett land for labor hours to make an easy income, therefore creating deductions from your deposits. There are to be no "surprise" visits but yet they do and make up their own rules as they go. Some can find so many ways to make money any way they can w
